Mogilny had three assists, including his 1,000th NHL point, and Tomas
Kaberle scored with 1:15 remaining in overtime to cap a stirring comeback for
the Toronto Maple Leafs, who defeated the Buffalo Sabres 6-5 Monday night.

Mogilny's wrist shot from the right point, with Toronto goaltender Trevor
Kidd pulled for an extra attacker, deflected off Gary Roberts and past Martin
Biron for his 26th goal of the season with 37.2 seconds remaining in regulation
to tie it.

The assist gave Mogilny 1,000 career NHL points.

``It means a lot,'' Mogilny said of the milestone. ``It definitely feels
good right now.''

The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Maple Leafs, who moved into
a fourth-place tie with Ottawa in the Eastern Conference with 90 points.

``Certainly it was a big win for us,'' Mogilny said.

Things certainly looked bleak after two periods for the Maple Leafs. Buffalo
held a 5-2 lead after two periods on J.P. Dumont's goal with a two-man
advantage and just 7.4 seconds remaining.

But Toronto came out for the third with the philosophy of trying to keep
things simple by trying to create traffic in front of Biron while throwing
pucks at the net.

The Maple Leafs broke through 4{ minutes into the third when Owen Nolan
scored the first of his two goals.

Nolan made it 5-4 with 5:02 remaining, putting the Sabres on their heels.

``We just kept pressing,'' Nolan said. ``When you get the puck to the net
good things happen.''

Jochen Hecht had two goals and two assists, Miroslav Satan added a goal and
three assists, J.P. Dumont had a goal and two assists and Daniel Briere added a
goal and an assist for the Sabres. Buffalo gained one point on the New York
Islanders and are four points behind for eighth place and the final playoff
berth in the Eastern Conference.

Buffalo has 10 games remaining, the Islanders have 11.

The Sabres missed a great opportunity to catch the Islanders over their last
three games, but were unable to hold leads against Boston and then Monday
against Toronto. Buffalo lost all three of the games in overtime, and
squandered three potential points.

``We're playing good, we just can't finish,'' Hecht said. ``We can't afford
to lose the points. We should be able to hang onto those points.''

After Buffalo jumped to a 2-0 lead, Mats Sundin scored twice in a 3:16 span
at the end of the first period.

``When we're successful we try to keep it simple,'' Sundin said. ``As the
game went on that was enough to win it.''

Kidd made 23 saves for his first win since Feb. 5 against Ottawa.

Biron made 28 saves in making his seventh straight start (3-4).

``We just didn't give up,'' Kidd said. ``There was some frustration but we
were actually just looking to do something positive in the third to get ready
for tomorrow's game.''

The Sabres lost their captain Chris Drury nine minutes into the first period
after he sustained a mild concussion.

Drury, who entered the game as the team's third-leading scorer with 45
points, was driven into the ice by Toronto center Joe Nieuwendyk after
Nieuwendyk knocked down Satan with a cross-check during a scrum in front of the
Toronto net. Nieuwendyk received a minor penalty for roughing Satan.

``I thought what Nieuwendyk did is on the lines of a suspension,'' Sabres
coach Lindy Ruff said. ``The guy has his helmet off and he fell on him and
pounded his head into the ice. It was a gutless play on his part.''

Brian Leetch had three assists and Bryan McCabe two assists for the Maple
Leafs.
